Member You - Reinventing Velcro: The Importance of Brand Simplicity
You’ve come to the second day of the week in our examination of your yellow Page advertising. With so many elements that are tucked into your Yellow page ad, it’s not often easy to know where to start, when looking what to change or evaluate. The very first is most likely the headline. The second, although sometimes equally important, is the sub-head or sub-title. It functions as a supporter for the main headline usually offers clarification or further describes the pertinent focus of the ad itself. If your ad currently does not contain such an item, consider the following information and how it might help.Start with the head
In a technologically advanced, fast-paced, and complex market place, simplicity would appear to be anything but the answer we seek for our brands, which is exactly why the opportunity is wide open. Gifts, gadgets, and special offerings are a dime a dozen, and more often than not, the customer
One of the most widely used tool in showcasing businesses products and services are the brochures. Businesses consider them to be a vital tool for advertising because they could easily inform their target prospects about the latest updates and newest products and services. Second they keep people informed about the good benefits they can get through the brief information included on it. And lastly they can keep an eye of turning prospects to potential clients and end up with more sales and profits.Taking a look at the brochures we could highly regard them as single or multi-page material that can be used by companies for show
Ironically, there are several definitions of simplicity. Simplicity can be defined as being simple or uncompounded, the absence of pretense, the freedom from difficulty or hardship, the lack of ornamentation, or the quality of being natural or based on natural principles. Each one of these definitions holds the key to what today’s consumer desires: a better way. Clearly, brands that embody simplicity are more likely to hold a place of honor within the mind of the consumer because the brand appears to humble itself in order to communicate a larger message to the consumer rather than merely putting itself on a pedestal.
Simplicity should reveal itself through a few different sources. A brand’s name, personality, identity, themeline, and appearance are all capable of exuding the peace of mind of simplicity. At times it can be as subtle as the well-organized color palette on a website or the clean outside of a building that can make the difference to the consumer.

The votes have been counted and the results are in. Ballot boxes are a priceless tool in the management of your retail store. Store promotions, contests, giveaways, and customer research are just a few examples of the ways a ballot box can come in handy in promoting your store and improving customer service. The ballot box is one of the most useful (and overlooked) tools for retail stores to build a connection with their customer base.A ballot box is such a versatile tool because it can be used in a wide variety of contexts within your store. It is the type of product that you typically don’t think of until the first time

My wife and I recently had our second baby, and like all expectant parents we had to go through the often difficult process of picking a name. Choosing a name is one of the first big decisions you make for your child and it can have a large impact on their future. Anyone familiar with the 1980s movie The Sure Thing remembers the diatribe of John Cusack’s character in which he expresses his disgust for the name “Elliot” who will grow up to be “a fat kid with glasses who eats paste.” He then goes on to explain that “You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name! Like Nick….Nick’s a real name! Nick’s your buddy. Nick’s the k

As small business owners, we all have at least two things in common when it comes to our companies: Keeping other people’s hands off our personal assets and paying the lowest possible taxes (this usually means having profits taxed on our individual tax returns.) That’s what the S-corporation is all about. While the limited liability company (LLC) is quickly taking its place, S-corporation benefits still do outweigh LLC benefits for many companies. But how do you know it’s right for you? Let’s take a look.What is an S-Corp Exactly?An S-corporation is basically a regular corporation (or C corporation) that decides to go

You put a lot of thought into naming your children, why wouldn't you spend a considerable amount of time naming your business too? Your business name is the first impression of your business and the products and services you offer. It's important to name it wisely.Your business name should reflect your product or your target market (niche, which we will cover later) and should be relatively short and easy to remember. You wouldn't want to set up your business with a name like "Joe's washers, dryers, refrigerators and kitchen appliances supermarket" when you can easily adopt a short catchier name like "Joe's Appliance Mart".
In a technologically advanced, fast-paced, and complex market place, simplicity would appear to be anything but the answer we seek for our brands, which is exactly why the opportunity is wide open. Gifts, gadgets, and special offerings are a dime a dozen, and more often than not, the customer is looking to avoid any extra “junk” at the point of decision. Consumer decisions are comparable to checking email. You look for what you know and what you trust to be true before even considering “the others.”
Simplicity has become as apparent in research responses as other brand elements such as control, options, and even price. There is not one industry in the market that cannot use simplicity to its advantage. For example, Stealing Share completed brand work for a large utility company who needed to find a more specific brand focus. While we conducted behavior modeling within the company and quantitative market research in the field, we discovered how crucial of a role simplicity played in this utility market. In this particular case, the brand needed to ensure the customer that he would “never run out” and that he could be secure in the fact that the company would make the process easy and painless. Certainly there were price issues and a few other market trends that were addressed, but one of the main principles this company was missing in its strategy was simplicity.
One of the pitfalls with associating brand with the “simple is better” mentality is the common error of companies misinterpreting simple as staple. For example, si
